Zelda Edelson’s solo exhibit, “Color in the Moment,” will be on view November 2 November 30, 2018 at Old City Jewish Art Center, located at 119 N. 3rd Street, Philadelphia. Photo/© Amie Potsic 2018 sents her first solo show in the city, which highlights her new paintings. Curated by Amie Potsic, CEO and Principal Curator of Amie Potsic Art Advisory, LLC, the show begins on November 2 and runs through November 30. The opening reception will be on First Friday, November 2 from 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. with the artist in attendance at 5 p.m. to discuss her work with guests and patrons. Gallery hours are Thursdays and Fridays from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m., Sundays from 12 p.m. - 4 p.m., and by appointment. Admission is free and all are welcome. Visit www.ocjac.org. “Color in the Moment” features Zelda Edelson, a prolific abstract painter who has created her own technique to enable her to paint from a walker used for balance. Creating something positive from challenging circumstances, her paintings are colorful and evocative. Edelson begins each painting with a gesture of the arm to create the first mark with her palette knife. The paint begins to flow and Edelson becomes invigorated, losing herself in the process. She paints on the areas of the canvas she can reach first. Then turning the painting, she accesses the previously unreachable portions to complete it. When each painting is finished, Edelson enjoys the process of bringing her diverse background to bear as she writes insightful titles for each work. Sharing her love of painting through gesture, color, and form, Edelson’s work reveals a voice that is both seasoned and spontaneous.

Har Zion Temple Pesents Author of “Among the Reeds”
During the dark days of the Holocaust, a Jewish family struggles to survive. The author’s grandparents were newlyweds when Hitler invaded Europe. They were forced to make unthinkable choices to save themselves and their young children, sending their two year old into hiding alone in a Belgian convent and giving their newborn daughter up for adoption. Ultimately these sacrifices worked and the family was united. But was there a hidden cost? Decades later the author experienced flashbacks of being hunted by the Nazis. Did she inherit the “memories” of the wartime trauma in her very genes? This tale takes the reader on a journey that may read like a novel, but is all the more fascinating for being true.

SCULPTOR AND ENVIRONMENTAL ARTIST STACY LEVY TO RECEIVE MEIGS AWARD he Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education will present the 2018 Henry Meigs Environmental Leadership Award, its highest honor, to renowned environmental artist and sculptor Stacy Levy, Wednesday, November 7, from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. Linking art with science, Levy harnesses ephemeral changes in nature with the lasting presence of sculpture. Rather than simply showing how nature works, Levy has also created and built many projects that solve environmental issues on-site. In addition to her site-based work, Levy has shown extensively at museums and galleries. The Schuylkill Center’s environmental art program has worked with Levy a number of times over the years. Most recently, Levy created “Rain Yard,” an innovative outdoor artwork which manages the stormwater runoff from the Visitor Center’s roofs. Levy is the first artist to receive the Meigs Award. Levy graduated from Yale University in 1984 with a BA in sculp-
T
ture and forestry. She received her MFA in 1991 from the Tyler School of Art. She spent a year at the Architectural Association in London, England. In 1992 she was awarded a Pew Fellowship, and has been a recipient of a Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Fellowship and a Mid-Atlantic Foundation grant. After being presented the award, Levy will be joined by a distinguished panel for an interactive discussion on the intersection of art, science, and the environment through the lens of water. After the conversation, enjoy a reception celebrating the opening of a new installation by Levy in the gallery. The event is free. The 2018 Meigs Award presentation, panel, and gallery opening will be held on Wednesday, November 7, from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. at the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education, 8480 Hagy’s Mill Road, Philadelphia, PA 1912.

Emergency Fund That Helps Seniors A NNENBERG C ENTER L IVE P RESENTS J AZZ G REAT T.S. M ONK N OVEMBER 3 Heat Homes Might Have to Close hiladelphia Corporation for Aging’s (PCA’s) Emergency Fund for Older Philadelphians may have to shut down soon if it does not receive additional donations. Many low-income seniors who depend on the Emergency Fund to help them pay for heat may be left “out in the cold” due to the fund’s precariously low balance. The fund, which spent more than $184,000 last year to help seniors with basic needs like heat and medicine, is now down to $50,000. Chris Gallagher, director of PCA’s Helpline call center, who oversees fund distribution, said he is planning for the worst in the months ahead, with an extra-cold winter and increased demand predicted and oil and other heating fuel costs likely to rise. “PCA has always placed the highest priority on caring for the most vulnerable older Philadelphians. The Emergency Fund does just that – helping impoverished seniors in crisis pay for critical needs, such as heat, food and medicine, when they have nowhere else to turn,” said Holly Lange, PCA’s president and CEO. “Philadelphia has the second-highest percentage of people age 65 and over of the nation’s 10 largest cities, and its elderly experience poverty at a rate that exceeds that of the state and the nation. Last year, more than 1,600 senior household received assistance. Donations are vital to ensure that the fund remains open.” The current crisis results in part from disbursements that jumped by 18 percent – nearly $28,000 – this past year over the year before, according to Gallagher. This jump was driven by an increase in both households receiving heating oil assistance and total dollars spent paying for that oil. The Emergency Fund provides support for eligible low-income older Philadelphians who have exhausted all other resources. Referrals are accepted only from recognized social agencies and the clergy, and payments are made directly to the vendor. PCA administers the fund at no cost on behalf of the Emergency Fund Coalition for Older Philadelphians, ensuring that 100% of funds raised directly benefit low-income older people. The coalition is an alliance of more than 20 community-based social service organizations and service providers that coordinates fund-raising efforts for the Emergency Fund. The Emergency Fund was created in 1979 and has only had to close once due to lack of funds, from April to December 2005. During that period, oil prices spiked from an average of $1 to $2.16, driven in part by the impact of Hurricane Katrina. The Emergency Fund relies on corporate and foundation giving, donations from individuals, and funds raised by the agencies that are members of the Emergency Fund Coalition. Fundraising goes on year-round. To learn how to donate to the Emergency Fund, or for more information, call Joan Zaremba, PCA director of marketing and development, at 215-7659000, ext. 5051, or email Joan.Zaremba@pcaCares.org.

Acclaimed drummer, bandleader and composer T.S. Monk pays loving tribute to his famous father, Thelonious Monk, at the Annenberg Center, Sat., November 3, at 8 p.m. tions and beloved hits by the elder Monk, the “Father of Modern Jazz.” Tickets are available at www.AnnenbergCenter.org or 215-898-3900. After earning a reputation in school as a rabble-rouser, the young T.S. Monk joined his father’s trio and toured with them until the elder Monk’s retirement in 1975. Monk then launched into the music that had captivated him and his generation, R&B. He first toured with a group called Natural Essence, and afterward, formed his own band with his sister Barbara, with which he had hits on two recordings, House Of Music and More Of The Good Life, where he played drums, arranged and sang. Monk received the New York Jazz Awards First Annual “Recording of the Year” and Downbeat’s prestigious 63rd Reader’s Poll Award for Monk On Monk, the 80th Anniversary Birthday Tribute to Thelonious Sphere Monk, featuring twenty guest artists including Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Arturo Sandoval, Dianne Reeves, Nnenna Freelon and Howard Johnson. Critics and the public lauded T. S. Monk as his father’s true musical heir, as bandleader and performer. To honor his father’s legacy and support the efforts of education, Monk formed the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz. As its chairman, he has been at the forefront of helping to create a number of programs across the U. S. that sponsor music education for students in the form of full scholarships and more. In 1992, Monk formed his jazz sextet and received raves from the moment they hit the stage and the studio. One of the most unique groups on the circuit, the T.S. Monk Sextet’s cohesive and driving style has been heard at the JVC Jazz at the Bowl festival, Sun Valley Center, Lied Center for the Performing Arts and many legendary jazz clubs. For his special 80th Anniversary Birthday Tribute to his father, the Monk’s sextet formed the core of the eleven musicians, creating a pulsating and dynamic show. With Grammy® Award-winning producer (for Joe Henderson’s Lush Life, among others) Don Sickler on trumpet, the duo has carved an innovative and dynamic approach to crafting the distinctive T.S. Monk Sextet sound.

Lansdowne Symphony Orchestra Opens Season with November 4 Concert
W

T
Music Director Reuben Blundell conducts the Lansdowne Symphony Orchestra. The November 4 concert opens its 73rd season. ber 4 at 3 p.m. at the Upper Darby Performing Arts Center. The November concert opens with the “Concert Fanfare” by Curtis graduate (1922) Jeanne Behrend, leading into the “Star-Spangled Banner.” Following is Bizet’s “L’Arlesienne Suite No. 2” featuring the orchestra’s rich sound and solo instrumentalists. Next in the lineup is “Harlem, a Tone Parallel for Orchestra” by Duke Ellington, composed at the invitation of Toscanini. It’s a spirited portrayal of Uptown 1940s New York (with some New Orleans for good measure). The afternoon’s finale is Bartók’s “Concerto for Orchestra” a tour-de-force infused with Hungarian dance idioms to make it an instant classic of the symphonic world. Tickets for the concert are $20 for adults, $17 for senior citizens, and $5 for students and can be purchased at 610-622-1189 or by visiting www.udpac.org. Upper Darby Performing Arts Center is located at 601 N. Lansdowne Avenue in Drexel Hill. Parking is free. Music Director Reuben Blundell is thrilled to begin his fifth year with the Lansdowne Symphony Orchestra. Blundell conducted and produced the orchestra’s debut CD “American Romantics III,” recently released worldwide through Naxos and New Focus Records, and which is a nominee for the 61st Grammy Awards. All three CDs in Blundell’s collaboration with Philadelphia’s Fleisher Collection have received glowing reviews in the United States and beyond. The Lansdowne Symphony Orchestra continues to solidify its reputation as one of Southeastern Pennsylvania’s artistic treasures. “The music is enriching, and speaks to the spirit of our audience,” says Blundell. “From young audiences to our senior audience, everyone is welcome. The musicians and conductor are very accessible—there is a home-grown-ness to what we do, even though the standard of performances is extremely high.” Not only does the orchestra present established masterworks by celebrated composers during its 2018-2019 season, but will work in collaboration with Philadelphia’s Fleisher Collection, London’s Royal Academy of Music and Lawdon Press to perform works by five female composers, including Philadelphia’s Jennifer Higdon (winner of the Pulitzer Prize and two Grammy Awards), and the heroic British composer Ethel Smyth. In addition to featuring distinguished local soloists with international careers, the LSO annually celebrates young talent through the lrving Ludwig Young Artists Competition, as well as with its annual collaboration with the Upper Darby High School Choir.

It will showcase the 130 members of the ensemble, between the ages of 14 to 21 and is conducted by the esteemed Maestro Louis Scaglione. The afternoon’s program will open with Wagner’s Overture to The Flying Dutchman. Known to many as the host of WRTI’s Saturday Classical Coffeehouse, Debra Lew Harder will be featured as soloist in Schumann’s Piano Concerto. Completing the program is Shostakovich’s First Symphony, a work written for his graduation from the Leningrad Conservatory, and grounded in the rich Russian traditions of Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Glazunov, and Scriabin. Scaglione said about the performance, “A season’s opening performance often sets the tone for the year, and we look forward to this opportunity to showcase the talent of our students. I’m always complimented by the many members of our audiences who are surprised the music is being played by students, not adults, because they are among the most gifted and talented students in our tri-state region.” Tickets for the PYO Concert are only $15-25 and can be purchased through Ticket Philadelphia by calling 215-893-1999.

Academy Senior Fellow Robert McCracken Peck entitled “Presidential Hair: A Close Shave with History.” Peck is the author of the new book “Specimens of Hair: The Curious Collection of Peter A. Browne,” about one man’s obsession with collecting hair from not only presidents but from a wide range of people and animals, all in the name of scientific research. The display of pages from the albums and Peck’s richly illustrated Academy Town Square presentation are based on Browne’s hair and fur collection. In his book, Peck describes why and how the priceless albums were assembled and what information their contents provide about life on earth. The talk starts at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, November 14; Peck will sign copies of his book afterward. The talk is free, but registration is required to ensure a seat.

IN THE
October 31 – November 6, 2018
NºBA Artspaces Exhibition in Bala Cynwyd
Continued from front page
Edelson explains, “My paintings are full of color, feeling, and movement. They are lyrical like a song, strong like a knot, and intricate like a spider’s web. Her work is in the tradition of Abstract Expressionism as were her strongest influences: artists Paul Klee, Jackson Pollock, and Willem de Kooning. Zelda Toll Edelson was born in Philadelphia on October 18, 1929. Edelson traces her interest in art and painting to an experimental art class she took while at Girls High taught by distinguished artist and teacher Jack Bookbinder. This first introduction to modern art had a profound effect on her, which she would act on many years later. As a young woman, Edelson was a bit of a radical, frequently going to far away parts of town to see a foreign movie or check out a bookstore. When she completed high school, she went to the University of Chicago, where she graduated with a major in English Literature. After marrying Marshall Edelson, she eventually moved to Connecticut. There she began her twenty-year career as Editor and Zelda Edelson’s solo exhibit, “Color in the Moment,” will be on view November 2 November 30, 2018 at Old City Jewish Art Center, in Philadelphia. Shown is Zelda Edelson’s “Calif’s Palace,” Acrylic on canvas, 40" x 30", 2018. Head of Publications for Yale University’s Peabody Museum of Natural History. In her role as editor, Edelson used her artistic sensibility to create skillfully produced photographs and illustrations to complement the natural history articles of the Yale faculty. When she retired in 1995, Edelson decided to focus on painting. She also moved back to Philadelphia, to her roots, where she still has many family members. Zelda has exhibited her work at the Woodbridge Town Center and the Creative Arts Center in Connecticut as well as at Gallery Q2, The Jewel of India, Art for the Cash Poor, and Main Line Art Center in the Philadelphia area. She received an Honorable Mention award in the 70th Annual Members’ Exhibition at Main Line Art Center in October of 2007. At eighty-nine years old, Edelson now lives in Haverford, PA, where she continues to be a prolific painter. Curator of the exhibition, Amie Potsic, MFA is the CEO & Principal Curator of Amie Potsic Art Advisory LLC, Chair of the Art In City Hall Artistic Advisory Board of the City of Philadelphia, as well as an established photographer and installation artist. Potsic has extensive experience curating exhibitions for museums, galleries, art organizations, and public spaces and offers Legacy Planning for artists and collectors. Legacy Planning involves the opportunity to shape an artist or collector’s legacy, during their lifetime, to create meaning and purpose through a life’s work. By documenting, exhibiting, and publishing their artwork as well as placZelda Edelson with husband Marshall Edelson at Lake Michigan, near Chicago, IL, 1952. ing works with institutions and collections, she helps strengthen their artistic impact while relieving their loved ones of the difficult task of organizing an archive, studio, or collection. Potsic presents this legacy exhibition to honor Edelson and her work. Founded in 2006, the Old City Jewish Art Center (OCJAC) was envisioned as a platform to build Jewish community through the arts. Growing steadily since then, the OCJAC gallery has become an exhibition space for serious artists, holds monthly First Friday art receptions with a Jewish twist and provides social and Jewish holiday programs throughout the year. OCJAC is now a landmark gallery in the Philadelphia art scene and is the only gallery dedicated to Jewish artistic expression and cultural exchange in Philadelphia. Using the arts as a springboard, the Old City Jewish Art Center advances and promotes the universal messages of Judaism and spiritually to the broadest possible audience. “Color in the Moment” will be on view November 2 - November 30, 2018. The opening reception will be on First Friday, November 2 from 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. Gallery hours are Thursdays and Fridays from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m., Sundays from 12 p.m. - 4 p.m., and by appointment. Admission is free and all are welcome. For info, contact Amie Potsic at amie@amiepotsicartadvisory.com or 610-731-6312.

See “CORE: Mat Tomezsko / Gregory Coates / Leora Brecher” at NºBA Artspaces in Bala Cynwyd. A public reception will be held on Saturday, November 10, from 6-9 p.m. ºBA Artspaces, Bala Cynwyd’s new Gallery Row, has re-opened after a summer renovation hiatus. A public reception on Saturday, November 10, 6-9 p.m. marks the opening of a new contemporary art exhibition: “CORE: Mat Tomezsko / Gregory Coates / Leora Brecher.” In their paintings, sculptures, and assemblages, all three artists work with bold, elemental, geometric shapes – circles, squares, sharp angles, crosses – as the basis of their compositions. These elemental shapes might be foundational, as with Coates’ minimalist circular and square panels; they might appear as content, as with Tomezsko’s letters and numbers presented as abstracted shapes (X, O, N, W, 1); or they might form the literal core around which form grows, as in Brecher’s earthenware bodies formed from ringed coils that are joined together with sharp angles. Each of these artists also works with strong, simplified colors – primaries, blacks, and whites – that speak to the “core” properties of their work. Though all the work in this exhibition shares formal relationships, each artist’s goals, inspirations, and final projects are quite distinct from one another. Brecher is deeply influenced by forms and objects in the natural world – shells, pods, fossils, bones – as well as the human figure. She does not replicate these natural forms, but rather, alludes to and responds to them in her abstract sculptures that accentuate the inherent qualities of purity, simplicity, and grace. Coates’ assemblages incorporating unexpected materials such as feathers, textiles, and scrub brushes provide a subtle undercurrent of social implication. Manual labor, grief, and racial identity are quietly evoked in compositions that might at first appear as pure, minimalist abstraction, but emerge nonetheless from lived experience. Tomezsko explores relationships between visual art and poetry in his layered and textured abstract paintings. From letters, words, and sentences to coherent bodies of written work, he deconstructs (and reconstructs) language in an exploration of how it carries meaning, both visually and conceptually. In addition to the Opening Reception on Sat., November 10, there will also be a “Second Saturday” Reception on Sat., December 8, 6-9 p.m. All exhibition-related events are free and open to the public at NºBA Artspaces, 202 Bala Ave., Bala Cynwyd, PA, 19004. “CORE” will remain on view through Saturday, January 5, 2019. Gallery hours are Thurs., Fri., Sat. 12-6 p.m., and by appointment. Hours may vary during the holiday season. For info, contact Susanna Gold, Curator at 610-368-6927.

cert, titled “The Art of the Duo,” is scheduled for Sunday, November 11. Friedman and Miceli have been performing as a duo and individually for the past 40 years around the world. Friedman is considered to be one of the most influential vibraphonists in the history of the instrument, and is renowned as a composer and A free concert, titled “The Art of the Duo,” is scheduled for Sunday, November 11, featuring David Friedman and Tony Miceli (shown), at the Levering Mill Tribute House, 382 Bala Avenue, in Bala Cynwyd. jazz educator. He has developed his own musical message from fascinatingly diverse musical influences, and has worked with such varied musical personalities as Leonard Bernstein, Luciano Berio, Bobby McFerrin, Wayne Shorter and Yoko Ono. His book “Dampening and Pedaling” is considered the bible for vibe playing in the percussion world. The Bala Cynwyd Library’s program is a warm-up for Friedman and Miceli’s concert on November 16 at the Percussive Arts Society International Conference, an event involving 4,000 percussionists from around the world. “The Bala Cynwyd Library concert presents a wonderful opportunity for audiences to have a much more intimate and personal experience with these two world-class artists,” Hodos says. Friedman and Miceli will play a variety of jazz standards that they have transcribed for their duo as well as original compositions they have created specifically for their unique ensemble. Specifics of the program will be announced from the stage. The concert will be presented at 2 p.m. on Sunday, November 11 at the Levering Mill Tribute House, 382 Bala Avenue, (corner of Levering Mill). Admission is free. “Watching vibraphonists perform is as much fun as listening to them,” Hodos says. “I guarantee that anyone who comes to this concert will be very happy they did.”

Members of The Haverford School’s 2018-19 Honor Council include, from left – Jonathan Flieder, Colby Kim, William Boyes, George Maguire, Will Griffiths, Jeff Pendergast (president), Nick Chimicles, and Matej Sekulic. n October 1, the Upper School inducted new members of the Honor Council and the Character Mentorship Program. Headmaster John Nagl spoke to Upper School students about the values of respect, honesty, and courage, and noted that the decisions students make today will determine the kind of men they become in the future. “My hope is that I can help at least some of you, in at least some small way, to be better men than you would have been without me,” said Dr. Nagl. “That’s what every one of your teachers and coaches hopes, too. That’s why all of us are here. You are building the man you are going to be every day here at Haverford, and we’re here to help you along that journey.” The mission of The Haverford School Honor Code is to facilitate the moral, social, and character development of each student, pre-k-12, and prepare them to address moral challenges honorably. Honor Council Chairman Jeff Pendergast (senior) addressed the students as well, reflecting on four of the key lessons he's learned over the years as part of his involvement in the Honor Council. “One: Never underestimate the value of your attention to others,” said Pendergast. “Your attention makes people feel good, wanted, and respected whether it be a Lower Schooler or one of your close friends. Two: Keep an open mind. Be willing to listen to others opinions and allow yourself to be inspired. Three: Be courageous. Making decisions can be difficult but others depend on you to make the right ones. Four: Aim high. If you set goals, who knows, you might reach them.” Members of Haverford’s Character Mentorship Program lead a reflective process with any student who has committed an Honor Code violation. They also educate younger students on the School’s values, and help freshman transition to the Upper School community. Character Mentorship Program President Ben Gerber (Form VI) reached out to fellow Upper Schoolers in asking them to help uphold the Honor Code. “The goal of our program is to help develop our schoolmate, not punish him,” said Gerber. “Participating in the Character Mentorship Program is a meaningful way to help schoolmates in need of support and to protect the integrity of our school community.” Members of the Honor Council are: VI Formers Jeffery Pendergast (president), Nicholas Chimicles, William Griffiths, and George Maguire; V Formers William Boyes, Matthew Mignucci, and Matej Sekulic; and IV Formers Jonathan Flieder and Colby Kim. Members of the Character Mentorship Program are: VI Formers Ben Gerber (chairman), Alexander Andrews, Gavin Burke, and Vincent Corradetti; and V Formers M.J. Atkins, Mitchell Hark, Chris Hyland, Luke Macaione, and Ben Murphy.

“The Manor” returns to Greystone Hall in 2018 for its second year after its well-received east coast premiere here in 2017. Shown is the twelve person cast from 2017. Performances are scheduled November 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 11, 15, 16, 17 & 18. he Manor” – a two act play by Kathrine Bates, directed by Sam Barrett – returns to Greystone Hall, West Chester, PA, for ten performances: November 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 11, 15, 16, 17 & 18. Money, marriage, murder and madness played out inside a mansion. All are part and parcel of “The Manor,” a family saga based on real events. Instead of a proscenium stage or a stationary theater-in-the-round set-up, the audience follows members of the cast in designated groupings in and out of the mansion’s stately rooms where multiple scenes of the play are performed in coordinated rotations. Los Angeles audiences have been enjoying this in situ play over the past fifteen years, often returning back to see it again with guests. In this production the “stage” is Greystone Hall, and the audience and cast move in and out of the grand and intimate rooms of the mansion. Reserve tickets now for this unique theatrical experience. Limited Seating. Tickets: $50-$70 per person – includes light refreshments. Advance tickets required: http://colonialplayhouse.net/the-manor-info/. Inspired by real life events, the play is a fictionalized account of the “triumphs and tribulations” of the fabulously wealthy Edward Doheny family renamed in the story as the “MacAlisters.” Doheny (1856-1935) drilled the first successful oil well in Los Angeles, starting the oil boom of the early 1900s in Southern California. In the late 1920s, oil tycoon and philanthropist Doheny was accused of bribing the U.S. Secretary of the Interior in exchange for obtaining a lease of 32,000 acres of federal land in California. This was part of the infamous Teapot Dome scandal during the Harding Administration. Although the Secretary of the Interior was convicted of accepting a bribe, Doheny was ultimately acquitted in its wake. However, a terrible tragedy took place in the grandiose Greystone Mansion he gifted to son Ned. The mansion – a symbol of wealth, power and political intrigue – is the star of the show. The plot, a grand setting the likes of “Downton Abbey” and its similarity to today’s news and politics – add up to a perfect recipe for a theatrical feast. The idea for the play was conceived in tandem with the idea of it being performed at the Greystone Mansion where some of its events took place. The Los Angeles Tudor Revival styled Greystone was designed for Edward Doheny by architect Gordon Kaufmann and completed in 1928. With the blessing of playwright Kathrine Bates, “The Manor” is being transplanted and presented in another grandiose mansion – the English Renaissance styled Greystone Hall designed by Philadelphia architect Charles Barton Keen. It was built in 1907 for P.M. Sharples, West Chester inventor, industrialist and philanthropist. In 2015 Greystone Hall was the location site and “stand in” for its Los Angeles namesake for the filming of a TV docudrama for the Investigation Discovery Channel. The mansion setting in both locations is centerpiece of the story. The Colonial Playhouse whose home stage is located at Aldan, PA, in Delaware County, is a community theater established in 1940. It has a long tradition of offering a variety of fine theatrical programs. Sam Barrett, Dramatic Director of Colonial Playhouse, has immersed herself in directing this transplanted production of “The Manor”– an extraordinary and logistically challenging play- with exceptional dedication and passion. A goal of both the Colonial Playhouse and Greystone Hall is that future performances of the play will become a local theatrical tradition as the play has become in LA since its debut in 2002. The play returns to Greystone Hall in 2018 for its second year after its well-received east coast premiere here in 2017. Greystone Hall is located just off 202 (Boot Road exit) outside West Chester, PA between King of Prussia and Wilmington DE. Situated in the heart of the Brandywine Valley, it is within easy access to both the Greater Philadelphia and Greater Wilmington areas. Visit www.greystonehall.com.
